Today's Choices: Watchdog Healthcheck 7.00pm BBC1
Medical matters are in the frame in this ten-part series bearing the Watchdog trademark. Alice Beer presents a mixture of live and location reports with the help of various celebrity guests. Tonight's opening edition features an item on how children's backs can be badly affected by poorly designed chairs. There is also a revelation about flavoured mineral waters that masquerade as healthy drinks. And there is the first of Alice Beer's international reports - tonight, it comes from Brazil. There, the postmen have been trained to dispense advice on how to breast-feed babies along with delivering the mail on their rounds.
The programme also includes regular items from Toyah Willcox on complementary medicine and some lighthearted diet and exercise tests using three prospective brides and three sets of twins as guinea pigs.
